She went directly into her chamber
and closed the door. Hunter still sal
where she left him, when Mrs. Willis
returned.
"Where is Helen?n she asked
He tossed his head angrily toward
her door. The mother at once suspect
cd the truth.
II did not think, Mr.. Hunter" she
said, THAT after what / just said to
you. you would intrude your attentions

well, madam" he said. assuming
q ohcerfulness that he did not feel.
''after what your daughter has just
said to me, there's not the slightest
danger that shall ever repeat my Of
fer. A man is not likely to make a
fool of himself three times with one
woman. But, l tell you, as her moth
or, that Helen has thrown away such a
chance of a fortune as she will not soon

Mrs. Willis looked with unconcealcd

selfish reason of my own, among
Others. was hopeful that might be
afforded the inequalities Of this house
for few days"
Mrs. Willis looked really troubled
Nothing could have been more dis
agreeable than such a prospect; yet she
felt to some extent under obligations
to Hunter. Not an hour had passed
since he had brought her the news that
relieved her mind of its distressing
anxiety. Yet she felt that the request
was one that he never should have
made, and that his presence in the
house would cause Helen to leave it.
She limited this as delicately as pos
Bible, but he affected not to under.
stand her meaning.

the Mix affair. and some other foolish
things that have done about here,
